Fishbone is STILL Red Hot!

Eff the SOAP OPERAS that have become modern day cRAP music. Eff the radio stations that have become marketing pawns for the record companies. Eff corporate America for defining "urban" so precisely. If you don't fit the mold, you just don't fit in.

Don't fret. FISHBONE is STILL red hot! Fishbone is still channeling Parliament's MOTHER SHIP. Fishbone is still shattering musical boundaries. Peep the best tracks of their (somewhat) new album Still Stuck in Your Throat:

Men often hate each other because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other; they don't know each other because they can not communicate; they can not communicate because they are separated.

None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. We got here because somebody - a parent, a teacher, an Ivy League crony or a few nuns - bent down and helped us pick up our boots.

Some people say, "How can you live without knowing?" I do not know what they mean. I always live without knowing. That is easy. How you get to know is what I want to know.

Any real change implies the breakup of the world as one has always known it, the loss of all that gave one an identity, the end of safety. And at such a moment, unable to see and not daring to imagine what the future will now bring forth, one clings to what one knew, or dreamed that one possessed. Yet, it is only when a man is able, without bitterness or self-pity, to surrender a dream he has long cherished or a privilege he has long possessed that he is set free â he has set himself free â for higher dreams, for greater privileges.

A man once told me that you step out of your door in the morning, and you are already in trouble. The only question is are you on top of that trouble or not?
